With age, facial skin becomes unattractive, loses elasticity and freshness, and this also happens due to a violation of the body’s hormonal background or due to external surface damage. The way out of the situation can be a facelift - a procedure that enables the correction of acquired shortcomings in an operative or superficial way.
Facial lifting helps to restore self-confidence to those women who are worried about age or other skin changes.
What is a facelift?
Tightening achieves a comprehensive adjustment of the upper layers of the skin, due to which the treated areas are rejuvenated and refreshed. Depending on how the procedure is performed, the tightening can be performed in an operative or non-surgical manner.
Surgical intervention is required in the presence of serious problems, varying in the degree of complexity.
- Conventional cervicofacial lifting consists of pulling the upper part of the skin without changing or affecting the internal tissues. This option is suitable for removing fine wrinkles and correcting minor skin imperfections;
- Deep lifting (SMAS lifting) - is a complete operation in which several incisions are made, followed by removal of excess tissue;
- Endoscopic surgery is performed with modern technology. In this case, tissue compression is performed from the inside, using a miniature video camera built under the skin on the side of the scalp. This method avoids large incisions, which shortens the recovery time after the procedure.
Non-surgical facelift techniques for skin rejuvenation have become increasingly common in recent years because they are virtually painless, relatively affordable, and have no special contraindications. In the process of non-surgical skin tightening, the following are used:
- serums - suitable for use at home, because they are equipped with a fixing dispenser (to save money), differ in speed of action and have virtually no contraindications, except in cases of individual intolerance to components;
- deep penetrating masks - can be prepared from natural ingredients or include synthetic materials;
- lifting creams - in most cases they are used at night, because they exclude the simultaneous use of other cosmetics.
Non-surgical skin tightening products are commercially available, so there will be no difficulty in purchasing them. Everyone has the opportunity to use such drugs at home.
Homemade formulations made from natural ingredients will help to significantly tighten and refresh the skin without going to a beauty salon.
